TravelPerk has made a series of management changes to strengthen operations, marketing and sales as part of its ambitious growth plans.

The Barcelona-based TMC has promoted former chief revenue officer Jean-Christophe (JC) Taunay-Bucalo to the role of chief operating office (COO).

TravelPerk’s CEO Avi Meir said: “During this period of rapid growth from start-up to scale-up, it is critical to have someone in the COO role to refine the company’s operational strategy and ensure our continued evolution as the business travel industry’s fastest growing technology solution. 

“The leadership team and I have every confidence that JC will continue to drive success well beyond the achievements he has already delivered.”

Yasmine Bratt has joined TravelPerk to take over Taunay-Bucalo’s CRO role. She was previously chief marketing officer at Paris-based global marketplace Ankorstore and before that worked for food delivery business Deliveroo as VP of global marketing.

In a further move, Stuart Blake has been recruited to oversee revenue growth and sales as VP, North America. Blake has about 20 years of experience in sales, including recent roles as VP of sales for customer communications platform Help Scout and VP of sales for fintech company BlueVine.
